I have a 1969 B-body column apart right now,(column shift car btw) and the lower shaft and coupler are painted a gloss black. Main tube and jacket parts are suede finish. Although I can't say for 100% if it's original or not, but I'm confident enough that it is ,that's the way it's going back together.
I'll post some pictures once it's completed if needed( trying to decide if I want to send the inner shift tube to be replated or not)

Here is a pic of an original 5000 mile survivor 69 b-body. The shaft and coupler are not painted black.

my coupler was definetly painted....
I have the column for said coupler and it sure looks like OE paint.
I also have a 69 column apart at the moment and it also appears to be gloss black lower shaft

The 1970 column I have apart is a late 1969 SBD Lynch Rd Plymouth B-body. but I'll have to ck the plant and date on the 1969 car later today. It's a 1969 Charger R/T with column auto.
I've done a few columns and these 2 are the 1st I've found that I'm confident are factory paint. And both will be repainted exactly the way I found them.
